Aja Health and Wellness Inc. Clarifies Financial Filing Delays

Aja Health and Wellness Inc. (TSXV:AJA) is moving closer to finalizing its annual audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024. This update includes management’s discussion and analysis as well as necessary certifications from the CEO and CFO related to these filings.

Understanding the Delay in Required Annual Filings

On May 6, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) issued a management cease trade order, commonly referred to as an MCTO, due to the company's inability to meet the April 30, 2025 deadline for its Required Annual Filings. This delay stems from complications surrounding a recent reverse takeover transaction that concluded in September 2024. Initially anticipated to be straightforward, this transaction has now been classified as a series of acquisitions for accounting purposes.

Reason Behind the Filing Challenges

The classification of the transaction requires a thorough valuation of the purchase price allocation, which is necessary to finalize the audited financial statements. Aja has engaged a professional valuator to facilitate this process, which is currently underway. The company expects this valuation to be completed by July 4, 2025, allowing them to file all Required Annual Filings by July 31.

Details of MCTO and Its Implications

The MCTO allows trading restrictions for executive officers of Aja until the financial statements are filed but does not hinder regular trading activities for current and future investors outside the company. The order will remain effective until two full business days after the finalization of the Required Annual Filings.

Adhering to Regulatory Guidelines

In the interim, Aja is committed to complying with the Alternative Information Guidelines laid out in National Policy 12-203, ensuring that stakeholders remain informed until all filings are submitted.

Update on Interim Financial Statements Filing

As a consequence of the delays affecting the Required Annual Filings, Aja has also been unable to file its unaudited interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2025, which were due by May 30, 2025. The company is dedicated to expediting these interim filings and aims to submit them concurrently with the Required Annual Filings.

Leadership Commitment

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Sanjeev Parsad, President and CEO, emphasizes the company's dedication to rectifying its filing status and meeting its reporting obligations. Aja's leadership is closely monitoring developments to ensure adherence to corporate governance standards and regulatory requirements.
